And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions.
The Council of Trent (In nomine sancte) says that the Faith is a shield against the fire arrows of the devil. The credo is a shield against heresy.
The main part of the third secret shows a section of a very long procession of Catholics of all ranks (practically the whole Church) in a mirror, who seem to voluntarly go to have themselves killed by firearms and arrows. I'd say: have themselves spiritually killed by heresy.
Sure, the rest of the text calls them martyrs which would destroy this interpretation. But the text may be manipulated. Some even think that a "fourth secret" has not been published. Why then should the published text not be manipulated? The scans on the vatican page have a low spatial resolution and have one bit per pixel. A simple program like MS-Paint is enough to manipulate it. Also, the lines on the paper appear perfectly horizontal on the scans, with an exact linewidth of one pixel, not a single pixel deviating from the pixel raster, and each next line again perfectly obeying the raster.
I think, the published vision of a massacre of the Church does not give any impression of martyrs. To me it appears more like a dismal or gloomy vision, whereas martyrdom has a heroic and hopefull aspect. Finally, that's what is happening before our eyes: Not a bloody real massacre, not martyrs, but the exact opposite: A Church which voluntarily has herself spiritually killed by fire arrows and poison darts.
Plus: Do Fatimites not all suspect that the true third or the fourth secret says: Vatican II will kill the Church?
Now, I do suspect that the late Sister Lúcia may have been fake. But then: To fake a Sister Lúcia is prank compared to staging Vatican II. And why would anyone care about what Sister Lúcia said or what some VIP having interviewed Sister Lúcia reports, other than the secrets? We want to know the real words of Our Lady!?! I suspect, they did publish what's relevant. Though mixed up with fiction or whatever else manipulation. Today we see with our own eyes, what was prophesized. Anyone here who knows a place on earth free of the errors of Russia?
